07Why Collectors Want It

Released in the 2001 Southern Islands collection, a tightly-distributed promo set originally given out via an Australian retail tie-in and later as a Toys R Us bundle.
Sits at slot 2 of the 18-card set — one of the headline-positioning slots for the Kanto-themed half of the Southern Islands run.
Raw ~$37 vs. PSA 10 ~$362 — a clean ~10× grading multiple, with Southern Islands' soft foil and thin print run keeping gem-mint copies scarce.
A must-have for any vintage Pidgeot-line collector, with the era's iconic art style.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Pidgeot with 70 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Supersonic Flight Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 40 damage

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.

Slicing Wind Cost: Colorless + Colorless + Colorless + Colorless · 50 damage

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Resistance: Fighting -30
Retreat cost: 0

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Pidgeot PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
